2014 FORD FUSION Complaints

The right front (passenger side) brake line burst. I started the engine and felt that the brake pedal would not move. When I pressed the brake pedal a second time it went all the way to the floor. Shortly after the brake pedal pushed to the floor the low brake oil warning appeared on the dash. I then looked under the car and I could see brake fluid all over the ground. Fortunately this didn't happen a little earlier in the day when my wife was driving in Boston and on Interstate 93. The results could have been very serious! I have found many existing complaints on the internet and there is already a recall for a couple of Ford vehicles (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCMN-20V469-7118.pdf) that should be expanded to cover Ford Fusions.
